Possible scam reported in Ponte Vedra

A Ponte Vedra Beach man reported a scam to the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office Sunday afternoon.

According to a report filed by Deputy Jamie Zell, the victim stated that a man knocked on his garage door Sunday at 2:40 p.m. and identified himself as a neighbor from a nearby corner house.

The man said he needed to borrow money, $10 or $15 for a wrecker that was needed to tow his wife's car from A1A North. The victim gave the subject $20 and he then left.

A short time later the victim received a call from a neighbor who stated the man attempted to get money from her, but she refused when she didn't recognize him. The victim also learned that the house number the man gave was not a corner house.

The man was described as a white male in his 30s, 5'9'' and about 180 pounds with blonde hair in a crew cut. He was wearing a white T-shirt and cargo shorts.
